RABIES, RABIES and more RABIES!

RABIES, RABIES and
more RABIES! VAWZ is deeply concerned with the increasing
number of confirmed Rabies cases throughout Zimbabwe. Recently a dog from
Arcturus was tested positive, as well as a feral cat from Sussex Road
(Avondale West) and tragically a young boy in Chegutu has died from the
disease, two months after being bitten by his neighbour's dog. We cannot stress
enough the importance of having ALL
your pets vaccinated annually against this deadly disease. Should you come into
contact with an unknown animal, particularly one displaying unusual
behaviour, please seek medical advice immediately. Children must be warned not
to interact with strange animals. RABIES
IS 100% FATAL, DON"T TAKE A CHANCE! Please report
sightings of suspect animals to VAWZ (0778431528 / 0775722449) or your nearest
veterinary surgery
